I saw this item at an antique/flea market and was wondering if it was a Philippines-made souvenir buckle.  I know lots of servicemen got these handmade and I'm inclined to grab it, but I wanted to bounce it off the forum first.

 

Any opinions?

Thanks in advance.

It sure looks like one. There is a long thread about these Philippine buckles somewhere on the forum. Check it out if you haven’t already. Lots of cool stuff.

United States Parachute Association, not sure if this is PI made or not, may be domestic.

Looks in the ballpark. Did you buy it?? If not.. where is it!  😁

Thanks for the input, guys.  I did check out the PI belt buckle thread on the site, and it makes me think that the buckle is legit.  I've just never seen one with that logo on it.  I think I will be swinging back by that store and purchasing it.

Thanks again, guys.
